Inventor: DOUARD PIERRE-RENE
IPC: G08B15/00
Filed: 1996-03-21
Abstract: The method involves controlling the position, orientation and zoom of a camera (12) using a computer, according to predetermined values for display of the largest part of a surveillance zone on a monitor. A target is determined and marked by a calculation device (5). Tracking of the target is performed according to a function of the target shift, direction and speed of motor, camera orientation and the zoom control value. This allows the target image to be centred on the screen. Images are recorded when the target is detected and marked.

Abstract: Compounds that modulate the aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins or peptides are disclosed. The modulators of the invention can promote amyloid aggregation or, more preferably, can inhibit natural amyloid aggregation. In a preferred embodiment, the compounds modulate the aggregation of natural β amyloid peptides (β-AP). In a preferred embodiment, the β amyloid modulator compounds of the invention are comprised of an Aβ aggregation core domain and a modifying group coupled thereto such that the compound alters the aggregation or inhibits the neurotoxicity of natural β amyloid peptides when contacted with the peptides. Furthermore, the modulators are capable of altering natural β-AP aggregation when the natural β-APs are in a molar excess amount relative to the modulators. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of the invention, and diagnostic and treatment methods for amyloidogenic diseases using the compounds of the invention, are also disclosed.

Title: Process for generating descriptors for classifying texts
Inventor: RENZ INGRID
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1996-06-18
Abstract: The process for generating descriptors for text classification proposes the breakdown of complex word forms by matching with all the word forms occurring within a training text. No basis in morphological or linguistic knowledge is required for the preferably cyclically continued breakdown, nor for the accompanying drawing up of stop word prefix and suffix lists. Simple morphological knowledge is provided by the specification of minimum requirements for the form of descriptors and text sections. The process can adapted to new applications very flexibly and easily. The process is, moreover, very fault-tolerant and hence especially suitable for the classification of digitised texts obtained by character recognition processes from written texts or by means of speech recognition processes from spoken texts.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting and evaluating the time pattern (SV) of a signal, including means for carrying out said method, during which the signal curve (SV) is recorded in particular zones in a digitalised form and is subject to a calculation, in which a mathematical function suitable for describing the causal, physical process for the signal curve is optimally approximated to the signal curve. The cross-correlation coefficient between the signal curve and the approximate function (F) is subsequently calculated and compared with a cross-correlation set value characteristic for the physical process and the mathematical function. It is assumed that the above physical process has occurred, if the value of the calculated cross-correlation coefficient exceeds the cross-correlation set value.
